Scenario RPM Restriction Recommended Solution is connected through the VLT device, but not directly to the VLT device. Mirroring Orphan Ports across VLT Devices - In this scenario, an orphan port on the primary VLT device is mirrored to another orphan port on the secondary VLT device through the ICL LAG. The port analyzer is connected to the secondary VLT device. No restrictions apply to the RPM session. The following example shows the configuration on the primary VLT device:source orphan port destination remote vlan direction rx/tx/both.The following example shows the configuration on the secondary VLT device:source remote vlan destination orphan port. None. Mirroring VLT LAG across VLT Peers - In this scenario, the VLT LAG on the primary VLT peer is mirrored to an orphan port on the secondary VLT peer through the ICL LAG. The packet analyzer is connected to the secondary VLT peer. No restrictions apply to the RPM session. None The following example shows the configuration on the primary VLT device:source VLT LAG destination remote vlan direction rx/tx/ both.The following example shows the configuration on the secondary VLT device:source remote vlan destination orphan port. Mirroring member port of ICL LAG to The bandwidth of the VLTi link is Orphan Port of peer vlt device- In this unnecessarily used by mirrored traffic if max scenario, a member port of the ICL LAG or a rate limit value is configured in the RPM member port of the VLT LAG is mirrored to mirror session. an orphan port on the peer VLT device. The packet analyzer is connected to the peer VLT device. None. Mirroring member port of ICL LAG to VLT No restrictions apply. The bandwidth of the LAG - In this scenario, a member port of VLTi link is unnecessarily used by mirrored the ICL LAG is mirrored to the VLT LAG on traffic if max rate limit value is configured in the same VLT device. The packet analyzer is the RPM mirror session. connected to the TOR switch. If you want to mirror traffic in the TOR locally, use local Port mirroring session instead of RPM. Mirroring with a VLAN as source and destination - If the members of the source and destination VLANs are same in a single monitoring session. No restrictions apply. None. Mirroring with an interface or LAG as source No restrictions apply. and destination --- If the source and destination interface or LAG of a monitor session are same. None. Port Monitoring 685
